      I have homeserve for a little over two years and this was second time calling this warranty company for an issue in my home. I had a pipe that burst inside of my crawl space, I belive the pipe was frozen due to the inclement weather we have had in the area over the past two weeks. I called home serve to report this issue on 12/27/22, presently I still have this repair in my home and my water is totally turned off in my home. I have not had water in my entire home since this time. I have called them repeatedly, regarding this repair. Home serve took my issue and scheduled **** **** plumbing to come to my home the next day (12/28/22). One 12/28/22, @ 11:11am the appointment was cancelled and it was not done by me. When I called homeserve about this issue, I was told that the company cancelled this appt for not getting the contract from homeserve. As I explained to the representative, this is not right to the customer due to an appt being cancelled and the contracting company did not get the work invoice, they scheduled another company to come out to my home the next day which was 12/29/22. I asked to speaks to a supervisor on 12/28, I was told they send an email and someone will contact me within 24 hours regarding my issues. I did not hear from anyone, and if they did call me, there was no message left on my voicemail. Once 12/29/22 came, the new contracting company (Haynes Plumbing) came to my home, and my issue was not fixed, they did inspect the crawl space, but I was told by the plumber he was not able to fix it (he did not let me know the reason why) and I was once again left with no water. I called numerous of times on 12/30, pleading to speak with a supervisor and to find out what is going on with my case. I have still not heard from anyone to correct my issue. I had to end up calling a bigger plumbing company to hopefully fix my issue which should not be the case if I am paying for a warranty company. I am writing this complaint due to homeserve has taken my money each and every month and I was left with calling another company and paying out of pocket.

      I put in a work order with HomeServe around 10/24/22 to address a toilet backup problem. The backup involved a utility sink, washing machine in the laundry room and the toilet in the bathroom next to it. Over the next couple of months, the *** ******** contractors ran an auger through the drains three times; jetted the drains twice from the roof; used a high-tech camera to find the blockages; dug up my yard twice (first time they dug up the wrong spot). After repairing the pipes/drain blockage in the yard, we assumed the problem was finally resolved. That is, until I used the utility sink on 12/24/22. When I ran the water, the toilet in the bathroom next to it started to make bubbling noises. Immediately stopped using the sink. But over the next few days the toilet began to backup/overflow again.
      On 12/27/22, I called HomeServe and they sent a *** ******** contractor out on 12/29/22 to address the problem. The contractor ran a camera and apparently found a new blockage. He ran an auger but it couldn't reach the blockage. I was told that they would have to come back with a 75 ft. auger.
      *** ******** gave me an appointment on 01/04/23. However, the toilet backed up with raw sewage again. I’m a 61 year old female, getting ready to have hip replacement within the next few weeks. I had to clean up the overrun. When I tried to flush the toilet, water gushed from underneath the toilet running again. I turned the water off at the toilet. But the toilet made tic**** noises and water continued run underneath. I had no choice but to turn the main water off. It was horrible! I called HomeServe and explained the situation. I told them that I didn’t have running water in my home. I’ve had to buy water to use for essential needs. I flush the toilet I use with buckets of water. Here it is 01/02/23 and HomeServe claims that they raised the issue to “Critical” status, but can’t get anyone out until 01/04/22. This is an unacceptable situation.

      network contractor to complete the repair. The OTP member emailed Ms. **** on
      February 14, 2023 to request clarification that the repair had been completed

      Tune up to furnace scheduled today, Friday, December 30. The technician came and left. This evening, after turning on the heat in the second zone of our home, it is not activating. The technician must not have properly reactivated the system. I called Homeserve customer service and could not get service to the furnace until tomorrow. This is unacceptable. The problem was the result of poor service. It is now 40° and no satisfactory response to my problem was offered by customer service. I was hung up on once by a representative. We are very disappointed, especially because the problem has nothing to do with the furnace, but with incompetence. Customer service made me feel like I was doing them a favor by speaking with them. Unethical practices and unprofessional response.

      For the past 4 years I have paid $7.99 each month to Home Serve thru ****** *****. For the first time I try to use the service to fix a dorm outlet and they put several excuses for not doing the job.
      They say that the wire is not under code and is not true since a few years ago a complete change was made to the electrical system by an electric company.

      I purchased interior plumbing and draining coverage from Homeserve on 04/18/2019 and this contract was set up for automatic renewal along with my bank draft information. Today I called for plumbing service and was told I know longer have coverage because policy wasn't renewed. I explained I have 3 account with Homeserve and all automatically renew. While researching Homeserve stated I had inside electrical line coverage. However I never asked for inside electrical and has been charge for this service for almost 2 years. I explained they messed up and switch my interior plumbing to inside electrical. I want interior plumbing service to be restored and I want a full refund for paying for inside electrical service. If this isn't resolved as soon as possible. I will file complaint with Department of insurance and will file small claims suit against Homeserve.

      I filed a plumbing claim with HomeServe and it was denied because according to the rude agent, “the plumbing issue was sprinkler related and not connected to the home”
      She was incorrect - but didn’t care about listening.
      I have a guest house - that is connected to the house, which ties into the same line as the sprinkler line. This line provides water to the “guest-house” bathroom (toilet, sink/faucet, and shower).
      Aerial view of my residence will reveal that the guest house / garage - “is connected” (for insurance purposes) to the house.
      The “agent” with HomeServe who now caused this BBB complaint - could not have cared one bit.
      Shame on her.
      Consequently, this claim is viable and should be paid and not denied.

      importance. We take customer complaints seriously.
      In response to this complaint, a member of HomeServe’s
      Office of the President (“OTP”) team conducted a detailed investigation of the
      issue. Mr. ****** called HomeServe on December 24, 2022, to report a water leak
      on the exterior of the property and confirmed that he had turned the water off.
      A network contractor was deployed to the home, they determined the leak was
      coming from a pressure vacuum on the irrigation line. The irrigation line is a
      branch line and is directly excluded from coverage:
      “Line exclusions: 2 Lines that branch off the primary Water
      Line”.
      The OTP member called Mr. ****** on January 6, 2023 and
      advised that per the terms and conditions the repair was not covered.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because: There is absolute no statement that covers exclusions for “branching off” - totally made up - that should have not covered my repairs. I am not accepting HomeServes inaccurate response. My claim should have been paid.

      HomeServe’s position on this matter has not changed, the
      repair was not covered. The Service Agreement terms and conditions states under
      the line exclusions section, Lines that branch off the primary line are not
      covered.
      It was determined that the leak was coming from Pressure
      Vacuum on the irrigation line. The irrigation line is a branch line and is
      directly excluded from coverage.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:HomeServe has blatantly ignored the terms of the contract and if they are willing to allow this issue to hit social media - they did it to themselves. The reputation of a company is all that they have and thus, no company is ever too big to fall. 

      HomeServe has refused to admit that this leak was part of the house and additionally, HomeServe has never mentioned to the Better Business Bureau that pictures of the location were requested - to validate the claim.

      As a BBB me member, Home Serve has an obligatory *** *** to make this right or I am asking the BBB to push this file to mediation. I am prepared to take this complaint to the Council of Better Business Bureaus.

      The lame excuse rebuttal of HomeServe is not accepted. ********, ********, ******, and ********* is the next step - mentioning the unscrupulous behavior of the company that advertises its products and pride in its customers. This is unacceptable and unconscionable - especially when HomeServe continues to validate their response based on inaccurate information.

      on February 1, 2023. The OTP member requested further information about the
      repair, as it had previously been determined that the leak was coming from the

      irrigation line is a branch line and is directly excluded from coverage:
      “Line exclusions: 2 Lines that
      branch off the primary Water Line”.  

      Mr. ****** emailed two receipts

      Home Serve Cancelled my Interior Plumbing Policy ********* 10 days ago without any notice to me and then they tried to bill me for a new policy starting on December 12th, 2022.

      The policy they cancelled without any notice was paid in full on August 27, 2022 in the amount of $119.88. They also did not credit me any funds for the remaining time on my insurance policy which would be from the time they cancelled it without notice to August 2023.

      When I called them to remedy the issue they said there was nothing they could do as their system cancelled the policy 10 days ago. I tried to explain to them that the policy was paid in full for one year from August 2022 to August 2023 and that at no time did I cancel this policy and at no time did they inform me they cancelled it nor have they provided a credit for the remaining period that I have pre-paid for.

      The service agent then hung up on me. So in closing I paid for a 1 year policy from August 2022 to August 2023 that this company cancelled 10 days ago, without any notice to me and no credit back.

      I have included a screen shot of my full one year payment made to this company on August 27, 2022 for policy #*********.

      I want to know why they cancelled my policy without legal notice and where is my credit back or the remaining period that I paid for.

      Homeserve is charging me for a heating service plan, with monthly payments deducted. However, no service is available - the furnace broke down on the coldest night of the year and calls to their number are going to perpetual elevator music. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get the service that I have been paying for every month, for YEARS. I will be using another repair service and will have to pay their fees out of pocket - I expect Homeserve to reimburse that fully as they have breached contract and failed to provide services as detailed on the service agreement.
